- Flamingos pee on their legs to cool themselves off.
- California has issued at least 6 drivers licenses to people named Jesus Christ.
- 97% of all paper money in the US contains traces of cocaine.
- If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

Those are some USEFUL facts! And how about that 590 miles of hair? And what's with the sleeping albatross? Isn't that kind of like drunk driving? Shouldn't someone be keeping the skies a little safer? And I feel like flamingos have got quite an idea going there. That's almost like a fact I learned from Jodi -
- "When stretched out, your small intestine can wrap all the way around the world!"
Hm. Let's review that....... All the way around the world? Really Jodi?
- "Oh, no, I think I just meant to the moon and back."
Hm. Really? Is that what you meant? Thanks, Jodi. I'm glad she cleared that up.
(For those of you that are unsure, the fact that Jodi gave us is, in fact, an unfact. Do not believe it. In humans over 5 years old, your small intestine is approximately 21 ft long.
Circumference of earth: 24,902 miles
Distance from earth to the moon: approximately 238,857 miles
Distance to the moon AND BACK: 477,714 miles
And once again, your small intestine: 21 ft )

An interesting fact for Jodi would be this: The Atlantic Ocean is located on the OTHER side of the United States.
Also, I don't believe #3. What is your source?
fact: albatrosses actually spend very little time 'flying'. they are able to lock their wings in an open position and what they do would be more accurately described as 'gliding'. if you subscribed to national geographic, you would know this.
p.s. in order to post this comment, i had to type rsqudjwm. that would be an excellent scrabble word.
fact #3 = that is why so many people have dollars bill hanging out of their nose! I always wondered... thanks for clearing that up
Nic, you may be the ultimate monster, but your commenters are the hilariousest.
I have to type vyqahzo. It pisses me off. That's not easy.
